Former world champion David Haye predicts Oleksandr Usyk will win Saturday's fight against Tyson Fury but is unsure whether the judges will award him victory in their heavyweight title fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Fury's Southpaw Struggles
Haye notes that WBC champion Fury has had trouble fighting southpaws, and now faces IBF/WBA/WBO champion Usyk (21-0, 14 KOs).
Haye points out that Fury had problems in his last fight when Francis Ngannou went down and looked unconscious.
That was against a fighter who had never boxed. Haye also pointed out that Fury had major problems against southpaw Otto Wallin, who supported him on the ropes and worked for him in a close fight.
Haye's Predictions and Concerns
“I think Uysk will win. “Whether he gets a decision or not is a different story,” David Haye told BoxNation, picking Oleksandr Usyk to beat Tyson Fury. “I thought Ngannou beat Tyson Fury. If Ngannou can beat Tyson Fury in a ten-round fight, Usyk can beat Tyson Fury.
It wouldn't be the first time Fury won a controversial decision if he defeated Usyk in the ring. Fury's last fight against Ngannou was controversial, as was his match with John McDermott.
That's right, we saw the first and third fight with Deontay Wilder, who appeared to knock down Fury, but the referees did not stop the fights. There are many questions as to why Fury and Wallin's fight was not stopped after he was badly cut in the second round.
The fans believe that if Fury was not famous, the referee would have stopped the fight and Wallin would have won.
“I'm sure Tyson will be in much better shape this time than last time. But the truth is that I have watched someone have his first boxing match and beat him on my scorecard and many people's scorecards.
Haye's Doubts About Fury's Boxing Skills
“Another thing is that Tyson Fury doesn't seem to enjoy the style of the southpaw. Otto Wallin managed to have a lot of success pushing him to the ropes and badly cut his eye. Tyson was also axed in February,' said Haye.
“Even when Ngannou turned south, Tyson had no answers. He should have been the best boxer, but he couldn't find him. “I think it's a southpaw style, now he's fighting one of the greatest heavyweights of all time,” said Haye.
